Hacker-Pschorr Sternweisse

Brewed by Paulaner Brauerei (Schörghuber)
Style: German Hefeweizen
Munich, Germany

Sampled on 5/9/2009. This hefe-weizen pours a dark gold color from a 500ml flip top bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head with decent lacing. The aroma is fruity and sweet, touch of banana and clove. A medium to light bodied hefe. The malts are caramel, fruity and sweet. A touch of clove and more banana. The hops are earthy. A touch oxidized. The color also seems a little off. Carbonation seems a touch flat. Kind of sweet. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

This flippy top bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a very large sized head of foamy finely sized off-white colored bubbles that were and left behind a hazy dark orange brown colored body and a thick foamy lacing. The mild aroma was malty and banana. The thin mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and at the finish. The thin flavor contained notes of malt hops and semi-metallic. Not one that I would buy again.

50cl bottle. Pours goddamn lovely hazy orange with a creamy lasting white head & lacings. Aroma is wheat & sweet fruits - banana & orange. Taste is clove, yeast, wheat & orange. A bit on the sweet side but very enjoyable!

(Bottled) Muddy darkish brown with a small, a bit lemonadey head. Very faint aroma with some sourish-roasty malt. Rye-malty, slightly sahti-like, yet still mostly wheaty flavor with mellow fruity tones. Light to medium-bodied with low but a bit fizzy carbonation. Not very interesting, but clean and easily drinkable.

Banana nose. Cloudy orange brown. Nice head. Nice and full banana and clove taste. Good and solid weissbier - I am relieved that this novum is not oriented towards a macro crowd.

Bottle. Medium head with medium duration. Color is dark amber and a bit hazy. Aroma and taste is yeast, some banana and sweet malt.

bottle. Golden- orange colour with a white head. Aroma is banana, orange, yeast, fruit. Flavour is banana, orange, citrus, fruit, yeast. OK beer, but could be more.

500ml bottle (BeerAngel.de)
Deep amber brown, brief foamy head. Yeasty wheaty aroma, some banana. Refreshing carbonation. Slightly mushroomy twist to the yeasty banana taste. Some later toffee too, and hops which started buddy, but then became papery. Finish has a bit of all of the tastes, but is quite muted. Fairly refreshing brew.
